The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

form. All of those pieces will still be produced, but under a different
rubric as the G20 is only one of the issues at hand. We*ll need a
name/motto/graphic/whatever for the meetings that span the period from
March 31 to April 7, and we*ll need that today so that we can get graphics
to put together the cover graphic for the entire period. Any suggestions?
WRITERS/GRAPHICS: Once we have ALL of the meetings identified, we*ll need
a sliding graphic that lists them all and highlights which meetings are
being referenced in any particular piece. Production, you*ll need to be
very aggressive about backlinking pieces in the series as they get
produced. We*ll definitely need a sidebar that is chock full of links, and
some sort of feature on the homepage that maps out what we are doing and
allows readers to easily access what has been produced so far.
INTEL: Most of what we*ll be looking for intelwise will relate to how the
various powers are reacting to what happens at all of the summits. Intel
staff please coordinate with the regional analysts to get specific
taskings. DO THIS ASAP!
ANALYSTS: This first wave of pieces will be setting the stage for all of
the issues. Think of them as call-out pieces where we identify for the
readership why we see these specific issues as important. These are likely
to be the longest pieces of those we do this week (at least until the
whole thing is over next Tuesday) and are the closest to the traditional
analyses we*ve done before. Nearly all of these can be written ahead of
time, and very few involve issues that we are not up to speed on. The
dates given are intended POSTING dates. Most of these pieces will be
posted in the morning, so you*re your writing and comment periods
Intro to the meetings: how the next week falls into three categories:
financial, European relations, and American repositioning with Turkey
(this will also explain why we are delaying on the quarterly) -- March 31
Russia is delaying their economic plan announcement until after they know
what*s up with Obama -- March 31
The beggars: Latam -- March 31 (KH)
financial regulation: Germany (formerly part of the G20 series) -- April 1
China -- what their situation is, how they hope to use the G20, what are
their limitations and why they are not part of the bigger picture that is
developing out of these summits (formerly part of the G20 series) -- April
Australia - trying to become the mediator of the Pacific (formerly part of
the G20 series) -- April 1 (RB)
Russia - overplaying their hands (formerly part of the G20 series) --
April 1 (LG)
Turkey*s role in the Middle East (inc Afghanistan), and its levers in the
Middle East -- April 1 (MESA)
What is the G20? -- April 2 (MG/MP)
Why no global currency -- April 2 (KS)
Korea - their strategy and the need to get in good with Obama (and of
course the possibility that they could throw a missile fit during the
summits) -- April 2 EASTASIA
Turkey*s relationship with Russia and the United States (all that fun
Armenia stuff goes into this one) -- April 2 -- (MESA)
Turkey*s relations with the European Union -- April 3 (MP/RB)
France - becoming Mr. Europe (formerly part of the G20 series) -- April 3
This second batch of pieces will be much shorter on average and will
themselves be split into two categories. Framing pieces that will post
just as the meetings begin (most of these can be produced ahead of time),
and analytical pieces that will post as soon after the meetings conclude
as possible. Where feasible, please plan ahead in writing from the
pre-meeting piece.
March 31: Med-Merkel, Med-Brown -- EURASIA
March 31: Turkey*s trilateral with Pakistan and Afghanistan -- MESA
April 1: Obama-Med (the pre meeting piece will need a bit in it about how
the Russian economic plan has been delayed) TBD (probably EURASIA)
April 1: Obama-Hu -- EASTASIA
April 1: Medvedev-Hu -- EASTASIA/EURASIA
April 2: Obama-Singh -- MESA
April 2: G20 -- TBD
April 3-4: NATO -- EURASIA
April 5-6: EU -- EURASIA
We may have an additional piece after the Obama/Merkel/Sarkozy trilateral
April 6-7: Turkey -- TBD (probably MESA)
Based on how the meetings this week proceed, we may delay the weekly until
after we have some clarity from the US-Turkish summit next Monday-Tuesday.
And then we*ll finish up with the quarterly.

While Michael Jordan has since long retired from playing for the Bulls, the man still loves the city he helped win six championships, and it shows with the new Jordan 3 Stealth Series.
The Jordan 3 Stealth Series features a variety of New Era caps with new simple, but original designs. All the headgear features a gray top, black brim and red accents as a nod to the Chicago Bulls' team colors. Look below the brim and one will find an elephant print, which is the primary design of the Air Jordan 3 sneakers. Of course, there's also the shoe itself, which is a high-top with the same color schemes as the caps.
The caps from the Jordan 3 Stealth Series are limited editions with only 180 made.

Hydatid disease
Any race can be affected and it is common in both men and women. Symptoms depend on the affected organ-for example liver cysts cause jaundice, abdominal discomfort while lung cysts cause cough, chest pain and hemoptysis (coughing up blood). Rupture of cysts may cause fever, urticaria, and serious anaphylactic reactions.
Diagnosis is done using imaging techniques, examination of the cyst fluid and serological tests.
Health Animation - Waterborne diseases |
Treatment may be with drugs like albendazole, surgery, cyst aspiration or instillation of scolicidal agents.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said his government is making all effort to bring back the state on path of development.
Unfurling the tricolour at Vidhan Bhavan in Lucknow on Independence Day, Mr. Akhilesh assured that the government will do everything to stand up to the expectations of people and said big decisions are being taken at all levels to give pace to economic activities.
Noting that the state is "lagging behind" in development for the past few years, the chief minister said the GDP of the state, which currently stands at 6.2 per cent, is aimed to be taken to 10 per cent during the 12th Five Year Plan.
Mr. Akhilesh said policies are being framed for development in the fields of agriculture, industry, information technology and renewable energy, apart from initiatives in higher education, housing and rehabilitation.
Agriculture is the mainstay of state's economy and the sector will be the top priority of the state government, he said, adding that a budgetary provision of Rs 5,432 crore has been made in this regard.
He said with limited financial resources, the government will also take help of private sector for infrastructure and power projects and a number of projects on PPP model have already been started.
Mr. Akhilesh also listed various schemes like unemployment allowance, pension, Kanya Vidyadhan, education assistance to girls, free laptops to students launched by the government for betterment of masses.
He said Independence Day is a moment of special importance for the people of the state as Uttar Pradesh led the country in its freedom struggle.
Meanwhile at Samajwadi Party office, president Mulayam Singh Yadav paid tributes to those who laid down there lives for country's freedom and stressed for all assistance to the freedom fighters to help them live with dignity.

Sarah Butler was born in Saint John, New Brunswick to a Newfie father and FIlipino mother. Although her parents' careers were not in the arts– her father is a former professional badminton player and coach and her mother is a high school math and stats teacher and university professor– she definitely grew up in a family that fostered her love for theatre and dance. After growing up performing with the KV Players and Gala Ballet Company, Sarah then attended Deerfield Academy, where she particularly enjoyed working with guest choreographers Alan Arnett and Billbob Brown, and her favourite shows included The Crucible and The Diviners.
Sarah next studied at the University of New Brunswick, where she graduated with degrees in both Arts (Honours English, Minor French) and Education and was named Dean's Scholar. During university, she taught and choreographed for countless institutions and several schools throughout the Maritimes. Sarah's favourite roles for shows in the Maritimes include Penny in Hairspray, Helen in The Cripple of Inishmaan, Cecily in The Importance of Being Earnest, and Ophelia in Hamlet. In its second season, Sarah made it to the Finals of So You Think You Can Dance Canada.
Since moving to Toronto, Sarah performed in Chicago (Stage West– Mona/Roxie US), Guys and Dolls (Segal Centre), Urinetown (Little Sally), as well as Cabaret and Legally Blonde: The Musical. Most recently, Sarah appeared in the series finale of Warehouse 13, danced in the Gilda's Club benefit "It's Always Something…" with acclaimed violinist Dr. Draw, and played Belinda in the Smile Theatre tour of Johnny Belinda. She is currently writing her first pilot and gearing up for the fall season at several children's performing arts schools and studios in the GTA.
Sarah is thrilled to be part of the Toronto arts community and can't wait see what happens next!

I'm just in the thinking stage of planning a kitchen remodel project. My kitchen is really small, and my options are limited, so layout and "design" isn't that much of an issue. But of course I want to make sure the job gets done well. Other than the obvious things, like make sure to thoroughly vet the company, is there a checklist of things to look out for? After your project was done, what did you wish you thought of ahead of time? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There's another current post "What are the critical days to be present during a remodel" that will give you some ideas of things to think about in the planning stage. There's another current one called "What's your oops" that would also be helpful. |
I'm also interested in feedback on this. DH and I went back & forth over timing for refinishing the wood floors. Do it first & cover the floor while we paint/replace cabinets, install new vent/appliances (we're keeping the same footprint) or do everything else, then finish the floors. I thought the latter, but DH argued that all the dust from floor work would mess up the new, or newly refinished cabinetry. And the best answer is...? |
Our floors went in first & were then covered (still partially covered) until everything was done. We had a few tiny dents when they were uncovered but our floor is walnut & softer than many wood species. |
- Posted by andreak100 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 9, 14 at 14:43
amck - our floors were done first. And we covered them with rosin paper and hardboard. Which would have worked well...except that our GC pulled those things back when working on an area and instead of vacuuming well before putting the rosin paper and hardboard back over, they left the bits and pieces underneath. So, we wound up with pieces of copper from some of the wiring, etc. under there and getting ground in a bit. Yeah, lovely. Who would have thought they would do that? Anyway, our flooring guys are coming back to put our final coat on after everything is done and we're hoping there's a bit that they can do about the gouges and scratches from the GC. Having had this issue, I would still do floors first...I'd just make sure that the guys working would be a little more cautious...well, we've tried drilling that into them too and that hasn't worked so great, so who knows if specifically telling them that they should vacuum before putting the hardboard back over in an area would have actually sunk in. |
After spending too much time looking at different cabinet companies, realized may have been easier to decide which was more important to me - door style or stain/color. Once I realized (for me) it was stain/color, it was easy to rule out options. (For example, love Fieldstone cabinet construction - unfortunately, don't like any of the colors.) Overheard a KD telling a customer to pick the company first, then the door & color - this is what I was doing and it added way too much time to my selection process. |
Thanks for the feedback regarding timing for floors. Seems a minor remodel is more difficult than building. Reminds me of sewing - I 'd rather sew something from scratch than make alterations. Mdln, great tip re cabinets. |

Ridley Scott's Next Bible Epic Is 'David,' Which Is Like 'Exodus' But With Horrible Sex Crimes
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on July 8, 2014 | Be the First To CommentBible epics are so in right now as evident Noah and the upcoming Exodus: Gods and Kings, and thanks to the combined efforts of Godzilla and Guillermo del Toro, monster movies are also back in vogue. So, like pious peanut butter and unimaginable chocolate carnage these two great genre tastes have come together for a David and Goliath movie. Well, sort of. It'll actually by a post-Goliath David and Goliath movie, but if we're lucky, we'll still get an awesome Goliath corpse "elephant graveyard" scene. First reported by Variety, the working title for the film is David, and it'll be coming from the same team currently hard at work making the story of Moses into something more interesting than your average Sunday school class. Ridley Scott will be producing the film along with Chernin Entertainment (20th Century Fox will reign over all), while Jonathan Stokes will handle the screenplay.
Comic-Con 2012: Friday in Pictures! Toys! Skanks! Lines!
Comic-Con By Robert Fure on July 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThis Friday I took a little meander around the Hall early in the morning and snapped some pictures, which turned out to be a secretly and accidentally smart thing to do since I ended up stuck in line for the majority of the day before seeing about three hours of panels. It was the Hall H line from Hell, but that didn't stop us from getting a ton of cool pictures for you to check out. Come on in to the gallery and see some cool stuff from GI Joe, Iron Man, Prometheus, Gremlins, and a very sexy pin-up of our very own Rorschach!
'Prometheus': What Exactly Were We Expecting?
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on June 12, 2012 | Comments (15)For filmgoers frustrated with a visionary filmmaker whose films' quality provided diminishing returns as he became ever more prolific, Prometheus was anticipated as a welcome return to form. For those hungry for R-rated, thinking person's science fiction, Prometheus provided a welcome respite from a summer promising mostly routine franchise continuations. For those who see the 1970s and 1980s as the height of modern Hollywood filmmaking, Prometheus promised a homecoming for a type of blockbuster that was long thought to be dead. Prometheus even beat out The Dark Knight Rises as the most anticipated summer film of 2012 on this very site. But then the reviews came in. And thus began the qualifying, criticizing, parsing out, hyperbolizing, dissecting, backlashing, and disappointed exhaling. There were many responses to Prometheus, but very few of them were the songs of praise that a film this hotly anticipated – and highly desired – by all means should have satisfyingly warranted.

Hello! We moved into our house about a year ago and knowing nothing about lawns, I ignored ours until about November when I thought maybe I should put down some fertilizer. I used MicroLife 6-2-4. Well the place where I bought it is a long drive away so for this spring I found some organic fertilizer at the nearby Lowe's called Medina 4-2-3. I still have about 10# left of the MicroLife...is it okay to mix that in with the Medina so I don't waste it? By the way our lawn is St. Augustine. |
Follow-Up Postings:
More important then the analyses is what are these made of. As long as the material they are made of does not cause foaming or explosions, when mixed together, there should be no problem. |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Sat, Mar 17, 12 at 13:04
Organic fertilizers are all made of various protein sources. There's no danger of foaming or explosions. If you want to save a lot of money, check out the ingredients on your fertilizer and visit your local feed stores to buy them. My favorite currently is alfalfa pellets (sold as rabbit food) based on price. Here is a photo posted here last year by mrmumbles. He fertilized with alfalfa in May and took the picture in June. The lawn is zoysia. You can see the improved color, growth, and density. |

BreedingPlace two dogs of opposite gender (preferably the same breed) in the wardrobe room. Take out plenty of love heart pillows and love spray and scatter them across the floor, then put a melody player on the chair and play a sweet song. Let the dogs play in the hearts, and the spray will automatically activate on them. Note: Love biscuits can also help. Leave or play with them for about seven minutes, and they will soon have a puppy. |
Real paint appearance-When you paint the Labrador with the Dalmation paint it really looks really like an actual Dalmation. |
Modifying DaphneNote: This procedure requires editing a game file; creating a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Look for the "Daphne" folder in the game directory. It contains all the art files for Daphne, which can be modified and saved to your liking. This can also be done with all other art files. |
Trick booksDon't buy the book of secret tricks on every dog profile. Only purchase them on one profile, then just remember the tricks and use them on your other dogs. |

And this too in Syria.
"The US has been exposed as openly funding, arming, and supplying Al Qaeda in Syria for two years and in turn, is directly responsible for the death, atrocities, and humanitarian disasters within and along Syria's borders that have resulted.
While the US attempts to sell military intervention on behalf of Al Qaeda in Syria, using the flimsy, yet familiar pretext of "chemical weapons," it appears that before even one American boot officially touches Syrian soil, an already horrific crime against humanity of historic proportions has been committed by the US and its allies against the Syrian people."

Re: We Killed the Pacific Ocean
Sure G9 the universe will survive without makind too but that isn't relevant or helpful to our conversation about what "we" do in our lifetime and what we experience in our lifetimes with pollution...sea life and coral reefs....etc...
that video is unbelievable. The ending where he says we must change ourselves to imagine a world that isn't about greed and our frantic pursuit of "growth" is very powerful. In many small ways I know I have done that and I think its epitomized by many of the sailors who read and post here. They do not seem greedy, and they surely love the ocean.
If I could just imagine for a moment a partial solution, I could see fleets of underwater drones with cameras and sensors monitoring the ocean floor and the coral reefs and reporting back continuous information, combined with AIS, GPS and global weather data to make a tool for scientists, fisherman and politicians. A plan could be developed to manage, restore and preserve fish populations and habitat.

"Terri, have you been smoking?" I demanded, much louder than I had intended. Still, I was ready for a battle. For lies and evasion. For attitude.
Terri looked right at me. I was shocked to see tears in her eyes. "Yes, Mom, I have," she said, her voice quivering. Sometimes the truth will do that to your voice. The thing that got me, though, was that one beautiful word: Mom.
God had not just given me a daughter, he'd given Terri a mother, just like he'd given me a mother to love me no matter what. Love that was unconditional, love that could be trusted.
I pulled her close and hugged her as hard as I could. "I promise I won't smoke ever again, as long as I live in your house," she said. And you know something? She never did, not once. And she really got her act together at school too.
So how is it all working out? Terri is 23 now and works in Shreveport. Mercedes, she's 20 and went to college for two years. She wants to be a social worker so she can help other children in the system. Joshua will start college in the fall and Tyler is a high-school junior.
Of the 76 kids little old Possum Trot has adopted, almost all have graduated from high school. They're working full-time jobs at the flooring plant or at Tyson, like us, or studying in school or raising kids of their own.
Some people say it's a miracle. If it is, it's a two-way miracle. We gave them all the love we had and ended up with more love to share.
That's something Mama would have understood. Every child is special, every child deserves to be loved. Even if it is in a little town back in the woods, with no paved roads, no stoplight, just a cool sweet Texas breeze that blows in when you least expect it.

The Most Important Decision You'll Make About Your Portfolio
4. Your other assets and sources of income
There are other factors to consider when determining the riskiness of your portfolio:
- Your job: If you're still working, the security and variability of your present and future income might play into your investment portfolio. If you have a reliable job with steady pay, you can take more risk. However, if your income is variable and unpredictable, you might want to play it a bit safer with your portfolio. Also, we hope it goes without saying that you shouldn't have more than 5 percent of your portfolio in company stock.
- The amount of other income: Most Americans will receive some Social Security, which will provide a foundation (however modest) of retirement income that will be immune to market fluctuations. But you may have other sources of income that are at least partially independent of the stock and bond markets, such as a defined-benefit pension, annuity, trust, rents or business income. The more of this income you expect - and the more reliable that income will be - the more risk you can take with your investments.
The bondage bottom line
Given that interest rates are at lows not seen in decades, bonds are not very compelling these days. Many investors argue that it's much less compelling to own bonds yielding 3 percent when you can buy stocks with the same yield, and get potential capital gains and dividend growth to boot. But stocks will always fall victim to large declines; the extent that your plans and your stomach can't tolerate such drops is the extent to which your portfolio should be out of stocks.

Short Film: Take a Cardboard Trip Up Herzog's Amazon with 'Fitzcardboardaldo' and 'The Corrugation of Dreams'
Features By Daniel Walber on June 5, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? You may think you know Fitzcarraldo, but just you wait. New York-based animator Robin Frohardt, inspired by the legendary difficulties that plagued the production of Werner Herzog's Amazonian classic, decided to remake the film with one of the most easily pliable materials available: cardboard. The result is her three-minute trailer for Fitzcardboardaldo, a hardy paper journey into the jungle. Her recreation of a handful of shots from the original epic is spot on, with a few moments of humor tossed in for good measure. It's impeccably made, down to the last twist of the ropes as the steamship is lifted atop a cardboard hill. However, it seems that even making this 3-minute homage was far from easy. Thus stricken with her own production difficulties, Frohardt went on to spoof Les Blank's Burden of Dreams as well. The result is a 4-minute "documentary" entitled The Corrugation of Dreams, in which a record of Fitzcardboardaldo's production is combined with a cardboard recreation of some of the best Herzog moments in Blank's film. Sending a miniature steamship up a fake mountain seems almost as difficult as the real thing, especially with intimidating household cats intervening on set. Frohardt's stand-in for the German visionary director is also perfect, complete with sad and frustrated eyes that drive home the absurd monologue about shrieking birds and unfinished creation. The two films together are an absolute triumph of homage, and a testament to the boundless potential of short animated cinema. What Will It Cost? Fitzcardboardaldo is just over 3 minutes, and The Corrugation […]
Watch Werner Herzog Eat His Shoe, in Honor of Les Blank (1935-2013)
Features By Christopher Campbell on April 7, 2013 | Comments (3)Filmmaker Les Blank died today at age 77 from bladder cancer. He is best known for directing Burden of Dreams, a feature film on the making of Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo. Roger Ebert, who we lost to cancer just days ago, called it "one of the most remarkable documentaries ever made about the making of a movie." Two years earlier, Blank made another film with Herzog as the subject. It's wonderful title is Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe. Probably not coincidentally, it also involved one of Ebert's favorite films of all time, Errol Morris's directorial debut, Gates of Heaven. The 20-minute short film is, of course, literally named. Blank shows us Herzog cooking up his shoe and then eating it during a public event, part on stage at the UC Theater in Berkeley in front of a large crowd and part at a famous Berkeley restaurant called Chez Panisse. Why did Herzog eat his shoe? Because he told his friend Errol that if he ever manages to finish that first documentary of his that he'd eat his shoe. Plain and simple. In the short, Herzog offers that he'll eat the other shoe he'd worn that day if a major studio picks up Gates of Heaven for distribution. New Yorker Films, which ended up finally releasing Gates in 1980, didn't count.
Murray, Herzog and Gosling: How Movie Stars Make Fame Interesting in the Internet Age
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on June 5, 2012 | Comments (3)A few weeks ago, as the indie group Here We Go Magic traveled through Ohio, they encountered a tall, skinny hitchhiker who they quickly recognized to be the inimitable filmmaker/public personality/pencil-thin mustache enthusiast John Waters. The band members took pictures of themselves with Waters and sent them out to the twittersphere. John Waters's presence in their van did not transform into a difficult-to-believe apocryphal story between friends over drinks, nor did it grow into the stuff of urban legend, but instead became a certified true web event simultaneous to the band's immediate experience of it. For any fan of the ever-captivating and unique Waters, this unlikely scenario which was still somehow consistent with Waters's personality was truly bizarre, interesting, funny, and perhaps even enviable. But Mr. Waters's is simply the most recent in a string of out-of-the-ordinary celebrity encounters. Celebrity has changed greatly over the past few decades. Whereas stars of film, television, and popular music formerly dominated the imaginations of their public through their creative output and carefully orchestrated public personae (through interviews, red carpet appearances, etc.), today's celebrities are characterized more by their public personae than any output to warrant it. The Kardashians, the Hiltons, and the VH1 reality stars of the world are simply famous for being famous (or, more accurately, for being born into incredible wealth). There is no longer a sense that one earns fame through creating something or contributing to culture.

Last year was the first time that more Americans died than were born. This was interpreted by Barbara Amiel,a Canadian essayist, to speculate that with all of the options available to them that being a mother might not be as strong an instinct as we previously thought. Interesting, but I'm not sure that I buy it, how about you? (Maclean's,July 1&8), |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you mean more American babies died than were born? Or more American white babies? Or more white Americans? Or more Americans? Is it me or is something here vague? I don't understand the statistic. |
I think probably Richard, that the economy has at least somewhat to do with it. Couples that might otherwise want to start a family are dealing with just making ends meet and aren't ready to bring a baby into that situation. Also there are those who think the world is a mess period and don't believe they would be doing the right thing bringing a child into this world. |
More ethnic whites died than were born in the USA - a difference of about 12,400. However, that was offset by the immigration of 188,000 non-Hispanic whites mostly from Canada, Germany, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. Article link below. Population demographics change. It's what happens all the time all over the world and throughout history. Is it a linear trajection? We'll have to wait and see, but it's interesting to watch and speculate. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Non-H Whites-Births, Deaths.Trend or Anomaly?
It is weird to be so far outside the average for my demographic. I am more typical for 1880, which means I only have a few years to live, at most. |
Barbara Amiel is the wife of Conrad Black, Canada's resident millionaire criminal and fraudster, the woman whose statement to Vanity Fair Magazine, "My greed knows no bounds," brought down her husband's empire and drew attention to their lavish lifestyle on others' money. Why would anyone listen to this bottom feeder and worse yet, quote her opinions as if they were valuable? |
Thanks for your post, ninamarie. I didn't know who the author is, looked her up, and you are right that she is pretty scummy. Moving on. I should know better than to trust the op poster. |
Barbra Amiel and her husband , Conrad Black, are an embarrassment to Canada...actually more to themselves than Canada. Not sure where they live now. Barbara preferred their home in Florida while Conrad was in jail there. They have been totally ostracized from the British "social set" they so longed to be part of and Black has been stripped of his Canadian citizenship. |
Affluent females tend to reproduce at a much lower rate than non affluent females-this is a cultural trend that goes back through history. Roman women were harangued about not having enough children so that Rome was being taken over by foreigners. Since white women are more likely to be affluent then......All in all resident Americans have not been reproducing themselves for some time-decades-we have been growing only by virtue of immigration for a long time. Since a large part of that growth has been Hispanic the demographic makeup of the country will change. It is only when this sort of information is used to express racism or xenophobia that it becomes a problem. |

tobr24u, my opinion is that there are many animal instincts; but human beings are the only species who can - of their own free will - curb or control these instincts. For instance, a mother will disobey her own instinct to survive in order that her offspring might. And so, I believe that the "Western Woman" has subordinated her maternal instinct to some other perceived higher need. I do not feel up to the task of debating the merits and demerits of this choice. |
If she is still being published by Maclean's she must have something to say of merit. And Pidge, I am sure your profound offerings would lift this forum to new heights... |
Not sure what the author has to do with the question anyway? |

It was an eventful day at the Delhi Golf Club course. Joint overnight leader Chapchai Nirat lost his way, and Chan Kim gained the rewards for consistency after youngsters Khalin Joshi and Rashid Khan provided a glimpse of the growing depth in Indian golf.
The second round of the $300,000 SAIL-SBI Open golf championship had its moments. Rashid fired the second day's best eight-under 64 and jumped 29 places to be tied third.
Joshi followed his first-round 66 with a steady 69 to stay in joint lead at nine-under 135. Bangladesh's Mohammad Siddikur Rahman, too, moved to nine-under before bogeying the 16th hole, and Nirat dramatically dropped six strokes over eight holes for a 75.
Later, Rahil Gangjee produced two 'eagles' — from 30 feet on the eighth hole and from 45 feet on the 14th — in his 66 that gave him the fifth spot at seven-under.
When the 'cut' was applied at two-over 146, 30 Indians remained in the pruned list of 76 professionals for the last two rounds.
Jyoti Randhawa, who shot a 76 in the first round, withdrew owing to a back injury. Bhullar, followed his first-round 75 with a 70 to make the money-list.
Joshi's card included two birdies and a chip-in 'eagle' from the front edge of the 14th green.
"I hit the ball good although my putting wasn't great. Honestly, I felt normal. I didn't feel any pressure. Conditions were a bit easier, not much wind compared to yesterday but the flags were a bit tougher," said the Bangalore-based Joshi, who eventually retained his overnight one-stroke lead.
Chan Kim moved from his overnight third spot to joint lead with a 68, a round that he finished with four successive birdies.
"On the 15th hole, I had a five-footer straight up the hill. I hit it to six feet on 16th and made the left-to-right slider. On the 17th, I made another six-footer from left to right and on the 18th, made a four-footer straight up the hill. I had to trust the lines and luckily they were the right lines," said the joint-leader.
After a par round on Wednesday, Rashid fired nine birdies against a lone, early bogey on Thursday.
On either side of his three-putts on the 13th hole, Rashid fired 20-footer birdies and followed it up with birdies of eight and six feet on the 15th and 16th holes. He took the turn and picked up another shot on the first hole and then signed off with a hat-trick of birdies.
Leading scores: 135: Khalin Joshi 66, 69, Chan Kim (US) 67, 68; 136: Mohammad Siddikur Rahman (Ban) 68, 68, Rashid Khan 72, 64; 137: Rahil Gangjee 71, 66; 138: Chiragh Kumar (68, 70); 139: Pawin Ingkhapradit (Tha) 70, 69, Shiv Kapur 69, 70, Thitipuhun Chuayprakong (Tha) 72, 67 and Anirban Lahiri 71, 68.

Willits resident Kassy Aldaco was crowned Miss Mendocino County 2014 Saturday night.
Aldaco was awarded a $5,000 scholarship and the honor of serving Mendocino County for the next year, as well as representing the county at the Miss California Scholarship Program in late June. Aldaco performed a bilingual vocal of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" before the audience at Ukiah High School Cafetorium. She will represent a platform of community service titled "Diabetes Awareness in our Youth K-12" as she promotes her title throughout the next year.
Excitement built throughout the evening as the audience awaited the judge's decision.
Each contestant was judged in a personal interview on Saturday afternoon, as well as categories of talent, evening wear, on-stage question and physical fitness Saturday evening. Under the Miss America guidelines the contestants were not judged against each other, but rather on the presentation of their "Very Best Self."
Winning the title of 1st Runner up and a $2,500 scholarship was Katie Wong of Ukiah who performed piano piece by Chopin for her talent, and has a platform of "Promoting Positive Body Image." The three remaining contestants Willits' Aiko Tso and Devina Cash and Stefani Oseguera each received a non-finalist $800 scholarship for participation.
Aldaco received a special trophy and scholarship award for raising $6,000 in scholarships for the program.
Willits' Tso was honored for raising $3,000 in scholarships for the program. She received a plaque and a $300 bonus scholarship.
The contestants have been under an eight-week rehearsal schedule as they perfected each stage of competition. Each of the five contestants recruited scholarship program donations from area businesses, raising $13,003.
Mendocino County has long been one of the largest scholarship programs in the State of California as well as the Miss America System and the program is "eternally grateful to our sponsors for helping us raise such fabulous awards. Each young woman who participates in the program receives a scholarship for their endeavors to use towards their future educational goals," according to the Miss Mendocino County scholarship committee.
Entertainment for the evening to the enjoyment of the audience was a piano number by Jill Santos, Miss Mendocino County 2013 and a vocal number by Olivia Polkinghorne, Miss North Coast 2013.
As special guest for the evening Crystal Lee, Miss California 2013 and First Runner Up to Miss America 2014, performed a breathtaking Chinese cultural dance and thrilled the audience with stories of her pageant life and her breathtaking First Runner Up win at the Miss America pageant. Crystal is a graduate of Stanford University with a masters of arts in communications and a bachelor of arts in human biology. Her platform is promoting "Women in S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and her career ambition after Miss California is to found and lead a technology company. Crystal earned more than $125,000 in college scholarships through the Miss America and national Miss Chinatown Programs. Her employment history includes work as an Operations Intern at Dropbox, Inc.; E103 "Public Speaking for Engineers" course teaching assistant and as a Choreographer/Director for productions with budgets in excess of $1 million.

At the mere sniff of tinsel, we appear to lose our tiny minds when it comes to choosing a sweater to wear. Oh yes, I am talking about the unwritten tradition of wearing really bad Christmas sweater. An undercover cult fashion trend for years, this was brought to the mainstream through Bridget Jones and, of course, Mrs. Weasley's traditional jumpers from the 'Harry Potter' series.
There really is an art form to this, and the more hideous these jumpers are, the better. There is even a UK website that sells bad jumpers like your granny used to make.
I have to say, I love the idea of blatantly wearing a hideously designed article. I'll have my eyes peeled today trying to find a suitable partner in crime—of the knitted variety—to see me through the festive season.

Childbirth App
New app lets OB-GYN monitor patients via cellphone
It seems there is an app for everything these days, and many of those apps have made quite an impact on the medical community.
Dr. Jonathan Bratter used to have to be present to check on his labor and delivery patients at Memorial Hospital Miramar and look at the readings from the fetal heart rate monitor.
Now all he has to do is open an app called "Airstrip OB."
"It's impossible to be at the hospital 24 hours a day, so it allows me to have a more hands-on approach with my laboring patients even from a remote location," says Dr. Bratter.
The app provides the doctor with updated details and lets him see the same information being reported by the patient's monitors in real time.
"Interpretation of a fetal heart rate tracing is one of the most important things that we do as obstetricians, so to be able to do it from any location that I'm at is a huge benefit to me," Dr. Bratter says.
"Even on vacation in Colorado, I'm up on top of a mountain. I'm opening up and checking on patients that are in labor. If I did see something I was truly concerned about I would call the labor floor and the covering physician and say, 'Hey, did you see this?'"
Amy Diaz is 31 weeks and her fluid started leaking.
Dr. Bratter is monitoring her for any signs of preterm labor.
The app gave Amy peace of mind.
"Just to know that if he were to see something that was urgent he can come see me right away," she says.

When we see young people who marry too soon we often say, "As long as they are happy." But these are the words I heard recently from Sally who had just returned from her mother's wedding. "As long as she is happy" she muttered with embarrassment. You see, her mom is 83!
I say, "CONGRATULATIONS" to her mom. Women today are actually sexier as they grow older. Have you noticed that? It is almost a revolution. Partly because of all the cosmetics and other benefits women have in this new age but mostly because we now give ourselves permission to BE SEXY! Recently in a conversation with a woman in her 50s she divulged to me that she wants to be sexy well into her 80s. Why not? Let's explore what is possible.
Three steps to a sexy you:
There is nothing sexier than a confident woman. When a woman is over 50 and walks into a room with grace, knowledge and a confident air that shouts, she knows who she is and why she has come… heads will turn. There is a sparkle in her eye that cannot be denied. She can talk easily to anyone in the room and often she will have her choice of partners when she leaves.
Flirting with intention. When a woman has mastered the playfulness of flirting she can command a room. There have been books written about this but practice is the mother of invention when it comes to flirting. Let your eyes do your talking and do not forget to smile. Remember flirting is sexy; you must feel into it. A great place to practice is the grocery store.
Just remember these four steps:
1. Eye contact that lasts 2-4 seconds.
2. A smile that warms his heart.
3. Ask him a question to get the conversation going.
4. Work the room. Do not stay too long in one place. Flirt and move on, later return and check-in and move on. It is part of the allure.

Junior Member
I was wondering if you use rylais with him and used his ult. Would the circle be slowed instantly? or upon impact?
Senior Member
From what I have heard the slow would not affect them until your ult hits, which would make it pretty useless. Even it did slow when the green circle pops up I would not recommend getting Rylai's as the AP will not be nearly as useful as damage or other stats would be.
I tested Rylai's Scepter with Pantheon in a practice game. It does NOT slow when the green circle appears (like Veigar's Dark Matter slows) and its too redundant with the skyfall slow. It makes cool snowflakes when you heartseeker but Rylais is a "meh" item for Pantheon. AP in general is a bad build for Pantheon because you are relying on Aegis for your damage which at a minimum is at a 6 second cooldown and the bulk of your damage will obviously come from Grand Skyfall (both abilities are 1:1) which is probably one of the hardest skill shots in the game. Wait for Skyfall to be changed to even consider AP. On a different matter and for curiosities sake I suppose, a Tiamats (the splash damage item) does NOT multiply its effects or even work at all with Heartseeker. Shucks

26.06.06 - SHOWTIME will make television history when four sons of former world champions and a cousin of another are featured in a special edition of "ShoBox: The New Generation" Saturday, July 1, 2006, (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast) from the Little River Casino Resort in Manistee, Michigan. The SHOWTIME fistic series, which normally airs on Fridays at 11 p.m. ET/PT, will move to Saturday night for one time only and revert to its usual time slot for the following edition on Friday, July 28.. Tommy "Hitman" Hearns: "He's a little bit too anxious to make things happen" (referring to Ronald) Ronald Hearns: "It's an honor to have our father's pave the way, and now we have the opportunity to pave our own way and get out of their shadows." "Everyone expects me to go out there and expects the same things, but once you see me out there, you'll see the similarities" (when asked if his and his father's styles are the same) "He just wants to see me succeed, he wants to see me do well" "My style is exactly just like my father's style, I don't try to be, it's just natural." "Our styles are very similar We look just the same in the ring, it's kinda crazy you will see a lot of that next week" Tim Witherspoon (cousins) "When I was still fighting, my cousin came to me and asked me about the boxing game I was still fighting so I directed him to two good trainers He is a very intelligent person, a very very good person, I very nice person, nicer than me Lou" "He's destined to be champ, sometimes you got to slow him down because picks up things too fast" "Chazz wants to learn every little crack, every little thing, sometimes you have to slow him down he has to take his time, learn" "You can't slow this guy down" (talking about Chazz) "I see a lot of guys, heavyweights, that if they had the right trainers, could get to the next level. It's about who helps you and helps you get there" "I see preachers and actors in guys corners There are a lot of guys who are in the corners, who shouldn't be in the corners the promoters should let the guys who should be there be in the corner." "I would tell young people that you should try to get a college education make sure that you go get a degree and get a diploma." "I would advise them to education, work hard, and a trainer that's been there before and knows what he's doing." (what is his advice for young guys who want to box) Chazz Witherspoon "Someone's 0 is going to go, and hopefully it's not mine I am training for it not to be mine." "Being related to someone in the boxing game is a gift and a curse you have some big shoes to feel you're held to a higher standard." "When I say curse, I mean you are held to a different level of scrutiny you are only as good as your last fight if you lose, you are criticized more than anyone else you also put more pressure on yourself certain things are expected of you" "I'm definitely working on being more patient." Buddy McGirt "You have to prepare for life after boxing, because you can't box forever. Boxing is a sport you don't play. You play basketball, you play baseball, you play football. You don't play boxing you can't call time out you can't go to the bench." "When he came into the gym, I put him in with the best fighters I had in the gym you gotta have confidence in him and yourself." "My problem was, my son is 6-2 and a southpaw, and I am 5'6" and a righty, so the same moves weren't going to work." (about training his son) "I wanted him to play basketball.. I truly thought he could make it to the NBA." "I couldn't do that, never regardless of what problems they had, that's still his son" (when asked about the potential of Mayweather training De La Hoya to fight his son) "He told me he was having a baby, I said you gotta turn pro and take care of him" "I bought the first few months of pampers." (when asked if he was supporting him) James McGirt Jr. "I am going to take care of business on July 1st" "I was brought up in the sport, it was around me my whole life, it grew on me and I loved it." "When he's working with me, it's that extra edge, He is Buddy, he was champion of the world and he wants me to be the best" Lou DiBella "Really truly is the new generation" "It's interesting how many great fighters right now have relatives and sons fighting on a very high level." "Ronald will have a career based on Ronald's hard work." "Chazz is a free agent, so I am going to take a long hard look at you Chazz" "Chazz is a guy I am very interested in following because this is a kid that went to St Joseph's, real good school, 3.8 cum, everyone talks about the articulate athlete, but this is an educated athlete."

The "other" woman
Asked to name the women's semifinalists going into the U.S. Open, most would have named four out of these six names -- Justine Henin, Maria Sharapova, Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic, Serena Williams and Venus Williams. But thanks to the way the draw played out, we're now guaranteed an "other" -- a semifinalist who's not one of those six names.
Henin, Jankovic, Ivanovic and the Williamses all landed in the top half of the draw, meaning that only two of the five will make it into the semifinals. Sharapova, in the bottom quarter, is expected to end up as a third semifinalist.
But who will emerge from the wayward, headless beast that is the third quarter? It's a real opportunity for a few slumping names to revive their careers:
Martina Hingis:
Last year's comeback queen comes in troubled by nagging hip and back injuries and having just seen her engagement to fellow pro Radek Stepanek come to an end. It's been 10 years since she won the title here, and a run to the final four would be a nice trip down memory lane. There are a couple of tough Russians in her quarter, but no one she can't outwit on a good day.
Svetlana Kuznetsova:
The Russian, popular among her fellow pros, has had a good but not great year. She has plenty of boosters -- Roger Federer picked her game out as one of his favorites on the women's side, and Russian tennis chief Shamil Tarpishchev says the only thing preventing her from being No. 1 is herself.
Now, without any need to fear the opposition in her quarter, she might be able to recapture the free-swinging, athletic performances that saw her grab the U.S. Open title in 2004.
Nadia Petrova:
"It's time I won a major," has been a frequent refrain from the forthright Russian over the last few years, but that time has yet to come. Bad luck with injuries and questionable mental strength have seen her chronically underachieve at the majors, but she knows she's capable of a semifinal or more if she can consistently play the kind of powerful tennis she's occasionally produced in the past.
Pair of longshots:
Are Michaella Krajicek and Victoria Azarenka really ready to go deep at a major? No, but with this draw and some convenient upsets, they don't necessarily have to be.
Though Sharapova looked sharp in her opening match, she's been hurt of late. One bad day would blow open her quarter too, leaving us assured not just of a surprise semifinalist, but a surprise finalist. Who might present a danger?
Nicole Vaidisova:
the long-touted 18-year-old comes in with no matches since Wimbledon because of a bout of mononucleosis, but now has the opportunity to work herself back into shape. Like Sharapova, she trained at Bollettieri's and has a good serve and huge groundstrokes. Unlike Sharapova, she can melt down under pressure, but is capable of pulling of an upset if they meet in the fourth round.
Anna Chakvetadze:
One of the hottest players over the summer, her mid-paced but varied game could give Sharapova pause if they meet in the quarterfinals. If she pulls of the win, she would become the favorite to go on and reach the semifinals -- and perhaps even the final.
Sania Mirza:
Sharapova is a bad matchup for her, but should the Russian get toppled by someone else, Mirza has a shot against anyone else in her quarter.
A few long shots:
Veteran Patty Schnyder and the in-form Virginie Razzano, Shahar Peer and youngsters Agnieszka Radwanska and Tamira Paszek.

Seattle Times photographers offer a glimpse into what inspires their best visual reporting.
Blog Home | Picture This on Facebook | E-mail Picture This staff | Subscribe
It looks like a fort outside Jeff Samudosky's studio with the flag flying and wood piled high. He's there with a chainsaw to do battle freeing forms he envisions in Western red cedar.
Known for his horses, Samudosky asks, "does it have emotion and power?"
He works from instinct, not drawings, intuiting what's to be created. Self-taught after a snowboarding injury sidetracked his career as an adventure guide 14-years ago, he borrowed his father's saw and started in a on a piece of white pine.
This May his skill with a Stihl after 30-hours of marathon carving led to the world championship trophy in Germany for the three-person team he led from the U.S. He traveled there with 8 saws, enlivened like race cars and "ran them hot."
"My goal is to do my best and push myself."
It can lead to unusual requests in this business of mostly commissions. Asked to produce a platypus, "I said "a plataWhatApus?'
He'll carve your name in wood for $300 or a life-size stallion for $25,000.
But horses are his forte'.
Now competitors refer to his horse figures by Jeff's name. "It's another Samudosky."

It's not polarization. I doubt that America today is more polarized than it was fifty years ago. Are there any mainstream conservatives arguing for a regime of legal racial segregation? Are there any mainstream progressives arguing that the highest marginal tax rate should be 90 percent?
The fact is that the present-day Democratic party is a center-left party and the Republicans, despite their insane rhetoric, is still basically center-right. What's different now is that people have sorted themselves into two camps, whereas there used to be lots of conservatives who voted Democratic and fairly liberal people who voted Republican. Politics today is less about policy and more about partisan tribal signalling. Neither side gets much benefit from compromising, so they don't.

text: MPN: KSPBPI EAN: 5030578872926 Introducing The KitSound™ PocketBoomAt KS, we're firm believers in the fact that just because you're reducing the size of a speaker, you shouldn't have to compromise on sound, which is why our PocketBoom Bluetooth®, wireless speaker comes with built-in bass boost to provide deep, rich tones and showcase your music. Surprising Sound Quality: The PocketBoom speaker from KS delivers surprising sound quality with an efficient amplifier that powers a high fidelity miniature driver which is given a boost of bass by a passive radiator on the bottom. It will also create an even bigger sound when placed on a resonant surface (like a desk) by transferring some of the sound to the surface. No Plugs, No Wires, No Mess: Although it is possible to connect with a wire, the PocketBoom allows you to stream music from your Bluetooth®-enabled device wirelessly, so you no longer have to put up with unsightly plugs and cables that make the place look untidy. (Now it's just the rest of the cleaning and tidying to worry about.) Rechargeable Battery So You Always Have Music: Not only does the PocketBoom's battery give up to three hours of playback time, but it's rechargeable too, meaning you never have to be without music again. 'Silence is Golden' may have been a Number 1 hit for the Tremeloes in 1967, but we definitely don't agree with those lyrics. Specifications:
